Abstract A description is provided for Puccinia schedonnardi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Aecial stage on species of Abutilon, Callirhoe, Hibiscus, Gossypium and on a few other genera of Malvaceae. Uredial and telial stages on species of Limnodea, Melica, Monanthochloe, Muhlenbergia, Schedonnardus and Triplasis. DISEASE: A minor leaf disease of cotton, infection also occurring on the bolls and involucral bracts. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Fairly general in USA (more abundant southwards) but absent from the N. Pacific slope. On cotton it occurs in Ariz., lower California, N. Mex., Okla and Texas (14: 628) and also in Mexico. Telial and aecial states are reported from Argentina (25: 234) and the former also from Canada (Manitoba) and S. Africa.

Abstract A description is provided for Phaeoseptoria oryzae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Oryza sativa. DISEASE: A minor leaf disease of Oryza sativa (rice). The macroscopic symptoms are variable and often not distinctive. Leaf lesions have an irregular margin, usually beginning from the edge of the leaf blade and are grey with red-purple borders. Spotting and pycnidia form on leaves and glumes. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Malawi, Zambia); Asia (China, Japan); Australasia & Oceania (Manus Island, Solomon Islands). TRANSMISSION: Presumably dispersed in the crop by splash-liberated conidia from infected leaves and glumes during wet weather.

Abstract A description is provided for Septoria lactucae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Lactuca sativa. DISEASE: A minor leaf spot of lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Early symptoms are small, numerous, irregularly outlined, chlorotic spots beginning on the outer leaves. They enlarge, becoming brown or somewhat silvery, sometimes with a chlorotic halo, and shot-holes develop. Pycnidia, which may not be conspicuous, are found on both leaf surfaces. Infection spreads to the younger leaves and flowers in severe attacks (20: 193; 21: 182). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread (CMI Map 485, ed. 1, 1972). TRANSMISSION: By seed, pycnidia can be found embedded in the seed coat (41: 267).

Abstract A description is provided for Phoma sorghina. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Gramineae and all kinds of plants. Also isolated from soil, air and various animal sources. DISEASE: A minor leaf spot of cereals and grasses. The visible symptoms vary considerably; on sorghum leaves spots are usually irregular or rounded, yellowish-brown or grey with definite reddish-purple margins or indefinite in outline, reaching 1 cm or more in width. Pycnidia develop within spots on leaves, glumes and seeds. Also the fungus has been implicated with pre- and post-emergence death of seedlings of Macroptilium and Sylosanthes species (54, 1779) crown rot of bananas (61, 3556), leaf spot of Agave americana and stem rot of Euphorbia tirucalli (63, 3383), brown stem canker of Leucosperum cordifolium (56, 253). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: A ubiquitous fungus occurring in tropical and subtropical regions. Africa (Botswana, Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe); Asia (Bangladesh, Brunei, Burma, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia (Irian Jaya), Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, USSR); Australasia and Oceania (Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands); Europe (Germany, Portugal, Italy, UK); North America (Canada, USA); Central America and West Indies (Antigua, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Trinidad); South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia). TRANSMISSION: Probably by contaminated seed; the fungus has been found on or isolated from several seed samples (1, 289; 33, 599; 47, 2153; 54, 1779; 60, 367; 61, 4102). In Taiwan P. sorghina has been found to be transmitted from seed to seedlings (62, 4281). The fungus has also been claimed to persist on trash and weed hosts and remain viable up to 1 yr but lose its viability after 2 yr storage on dry infected leaves (Koch & Rumbold, 1921).

Abstract A description is provided for Mycosphaerella linicola. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On leaves, stems and penduncles of Linum usitatissimum, and Linum spp. DISEASE: Pasmo disease of flax GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread with host (CMI Map 18, ed. 5, 1977). TRANSMISSION: The fungus carries over on crop debris and other Linum spp. It is said to remain viable in soil for several years (60, 2047). Infested seeds on germination produce infected seedlings (5, 365; 25, 449). In New Zealand seedborne infection was said to be a minor factor and windborne infection was described (43, 1336; 49, 3316).

Abstract A description is provided for Guignardia citricarpa. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Citrus spp. Also recorded in a non-pathogenic form on many other hosts in the following families: Anacardiaceae, Aquifoliaceae, Bignoniaceae, Burseraceae, Cunoniaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Gramineae, Lauraceae, Leguminosae, Liliaceae, Lythraceae, Magnoliaceae, Myrtaceae, Orchidaceae, Passifloraceae, Proteaceae, Rosaceae, Rutaceae, Solanaceae, Sterculiaceae, Theaceae (29: 208; 43: 1922a; Herb. IMI). DISEASE: Black spot of citrus. Kiely (1949) described 3 types of fruit lesion: Hard spot and shot-hole spot numerous, at first circular, brown with slight depressions, later more depressed in the centre which turns grey-white, margin black and surrounded by a ring of green rind tissue; Freckle spot develops after hard spot phase with abundant lesions, small, deep organge to brick red, finally brown, lacking a green ring, Virulent spot, irregular, confluent, rapidly spreading, black in the centre where pycnidia are produced, brown nearer the edge, finally brick red at the periphery forming the margin of the sunken lesion. McOnie found field temperatures affected symptom expression (44: 1556b). Also occurs on leaves, twigs and flowers of citrus and other hosts, often as latent infections. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widely distributed on a large number of hosts. Countries where the fungus has been reported as a pathogen of citrus fruit in the field are designated below with an asterisk: Africa (? Egypt, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, *Rhodesia, *South Africa, Uganda), Asia (Ceylon, *China, *Formosa (Taiwan), Hong Kong,? India, *Indonesia, Iran, Israel, *Japan, Korea,? Malaya, Okinawa,? Pakistan,? Philippines,? Singapore,? Thailand,? Vietnam); Australasia & Oceania, (*Australia,? Fiji Islands,? Hawaii, New Hebrides), Europe (Sicily, Spain, U.S.S.R. (Republic of Georgia)); North America (United States (Florida)); Central America and the Caribbean (Honduras, Jamaica, Trinidad); South America (*Argentine, *Brazil, *Peru, Venezuela). (CMI Map 53, ed. 3, 1961; 29: 208; 44, 701; Herb. IMI). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores from perithecia produced on cirrus leaf litter (43, 1922b). Conidia produced from pycnidia require water droplets for emergence and dispersal. They play a minor role by contributing to the infection of low hanging fruit. Mycelium in latent infections of citrus leaves remains viable up to 18 days and may be detected when the leaves are incubated at 30°C (Kiely, 1949). Nursery trees may also carry latent infection into other citrus growing areas (Kiely, 1949; Wager, 1953). Wounds on fruit made by insects may also provide infection courts (16: 247, 22: 19).
